- Coming up next on Odd Squad...
- Something odd has happened.
- A singing, dancing mayor?
- Maybe there's a pattern.
- ♪ I got a big chili beard ♪
- We have a case
of the sing-alongs.
My name is Agent Olive.
This is my partner, Agent Otto.
This is what I had
for breakfast this morning.
But back to Otto and me.
We work for an organization
run by kids, that investigates
anything strange,
weird and especially odd.
Our job is to
put things right again.
(moaning)
Who do we work for?
We work for Odd Squad.
- You still haven't said a word.
- But sooner or later, you're
going to have to talk.
All right, listen.
If you don't want to talk,
how about a high five?
You just high-fived
the Talkinator.
- It makes you talk.
- It does?
- Now, where'd
you put the berets?
- They're in this briefcase.
Now that I can talk,
let me do
a freestyle rap for you
about my childhood!
- Uh...
- Back when I was a boy,
all of the time, all I really
wanted to be was a mime.
You couldn't even hear
the sound of my feet.
But when I walk down the street,
they would repeat:
"He's the mime,
"the best, best mime!
All the time,
he makes no sounds!"
- Want to see us, Ms. O?
- There you two are!
Something very odd has happened.
You remember
Mayor Macklemore?
- Mayoral greetings.
- What's the problem, Mr. Mayor?
- It's easier if I
just show you. Ms. O.
- What you're about
to see is video
from the mayor's big important
meeting this afternoon.
- So basically,
roads go from
one point to another.
And what I've discovered
is that people like them
and they want
to see more of them.
And if we can get
enough situaaa...
♪ Yay, yay
Mayor sing ♪
♪ Mayor dance, Mayor move
like there's ants in his pants ♪
♪ Hey, it's time
It's time for Mayor to dance ♪
- Mayor Macklemore,
this is highly inappropriate!
- ♪ Look at my moves
Look at my dance ♪
One minute I was talking,
the next minute
I was singing and dancing!
Who wants to see
a singing, dancing mayor?
- I do!
- There's a time and place for
singing, Otto. This is not it.
- Right.
- I've seen this before.
Mr. Mayor, I'm afraid you have
a case of the sing-alongs.
- Oh, that can't be! I have to
judge a spelling bee at :!
- You must be having a musical
reaction to something.
Olive and Otto!
You follow the mayor around
today and find out what it is!
- I can't go back out again.
- It's the only way we can
figure out what's causing this.
- Don't worry. We'll be there,
singin' and dancin' with ya.
(scatting)
- Uh, no. No, we won't.
- Wow. Not much of a turnout
for the spelling bee.
- What are you
talking about?!
Both Larry and
Phyllis are here!
With their new baby!
- (both): Hi, Olive!
- Hey, guys!
- Hi.
- Mr. Mayor... Where'd he go?
- I don't know.
(startled screams)
- Mr. Mayor,
this spelling bee isn't
going to judge itself.
- Okay. I can do this!
- Yes, you can.
- Baby's first word coming up!
Listen, baby. Listen.
- Your first word is...
(scatting)
- Uh-oh...
- S... A... B...
- Don't look, baby
Laralisa. Don't look.
(bleating)
- Well, I'm proud to announce
that the winner of the
Biannual Chili Cook-Off
is none other than...
(drumroll)
Mr. Brown's
Bean Supreme Chili!
There you go!
(mayor laughing)
Yay! Ooh, chili!
Chili! It's chili!
♪ Oh, my little chili
Oh, I love my chili ♪
♪ Love my little chili tonight ♪
♪ Yes, I love my little chili
Ooh, my little chili ♪
♪ Put it on my shoulder
Make me feel bolder ♪
♪ I got a big chili beard ♪
♪ Yeah, you might think
that that's pretty weird ♪
- Let's get the mayor
back to HQ.
- Not only do we still have
a singing and dancing mayor,
my office smells
like a bowl of chili!
- Well, if it's any consolation,
it was the award-winning chili.
Mmm!
- I want this case solved.
Now!!!
- I have an idea.
Otto took pictures at
every event we went to.
If we look at them,
maybe there's a pattern.
- That is a brilliant idea.
What's a pattern?
- You know, something that
comes up in every photo
that might explain things.
- Oh...
- Can I borrow that, please?
Uh...
(hissing)
- Look. There's a lady
holding a baby here.
And at the spelling bee.
- Am I having a
musical reaction to babies?
- Hold on, Mr. Mayor.
There's no baby
in this photo of the meeting.
- That breaks the pattern.
The sing-alongs are not
caused by babies.
- I'm seeing something!
In every photo, there's
something with the color yellow.
- I think you're right, partner.
At the spelling bee,
the contestant has
a yellow shirt on, and...
at the chili cook-off,
the mayor was holding
a yellow ribbon.
And then, at the meeting,
everyone at the table
is holding yellow binder!
- The photos have the
color yellow in common!
- That's a definite pattern!
Ms. O, is it possible
the mayor's having a musical
reaction to the color yellow?
- He's eating chili
off his sleeve right now.
Anything's possible.
- Mr. Mayor, we cleared
the area of the color yellow.
- Thank you, Odd Squad!
I'm so glad this is all over!
- (reporters): Mr. Mayor!
- Good afternoon!
I'm happy to say
that thanks to the Odd Squad,
my case of the sing-alongs
has been cured.
It seems I was having a musical
reaction to the color yellow.
(chuckling)
Well...
A special apology
to the reporter from
the Yellow Gazette.
I just want everyone to know,
in this fine city,
that everything
is going to be...
♪ A-okay ♪
♪ It's gonna be a-okay ♪
♪ It's gonna be
a-okay today ♪
- How can this be happening?!
There's no yellow anywhere!
- Talk about bad timing!
The mayor started singing when
the press conference started.
:.
- ♪ Hey, hey, hey, hey ♪
- Bad timing!
(singing)
- What?
- The mayor started
singing at :.
And if I'm not mistaken,
his meeting from
earlier today was at :.
(singing in the background)
- Yep. What about
the spelling bee?
:.
- And here's the photo
from the chili cook-off.
- :!
- If the mayor's been singing
minutes past the hour,
that's the pattern!
- We should probably get him
back to headquarters.
- Yes.
(singing)
Mr. Mayor, we gotta go. Come on.
- Everybody conga!
- No. No conga. No.
- No! No!
- I guess it's better this way.
No more questions.
- ♪ Everybody conga ♪
- ♪ Everybody conga
- Everybody conga ♪
- Ms. O, we've figured it out.
- The mayor sings and dances
every minutes past the hour.
- But why is he singing every
time it's minutes
past the hour?
- Uh, Mr. Mayor,
do the times :,
:, : and :
mean anything to you?
- Yes, they do!
They remind me of my old high
school glee club: The Thirties!
Oh, we used to
have so much fun!
We'd sing for
the whole school, every day,
at minutes past the hour.
At :, at :,
at :, at :...
- The Thirties pattern from
the mayor's glee club
is repeating itself!
(whispering): I think
he misses that.
- (whispering): I do.
- I have an idea
how to fix this.
But we need to bring
The Thirties back together.
(background chatter)
- You were right. All of
the other Thirties have
the sing-alongs too.
- It's true. My patients have
not been very happy with me.
- I keep getting stung by bees.
- So that's it? We're all cured?
- Not quite. In order to
cure the sing-alongs,
the four of you will have to
sing together one last time.
(background reactions)
You know when I said there was
a time and place for singing?
- Yeah.
- This is it.
Hit it, Ms. O!

- Yeah.
- Greetings, agents!
I'm sure you know by now that
when the sun goes down,
the spider cats like to party.
Here's a picture of them.
But what you might not know is
if you've been bitten by one.
Well, that's where I come in.
The st clue you've been bitten
by a spider cat
is that it hurts - a lot.
Here's a picture of me last
night right after I was bitten.
Ha-ha! The nd clue you've been
bitten by a spider cat
is that your hand will be
constantly changing color.
But not to worry.
You can fix this with
the Hand-on-Colornator gadget.
But do not,
under any circumstance,
zap your hand
if it is blue or yellow.
If you do, your hand will turn
into a meatball. I wish
I had time to explain,
but right now, I have an
unhealthy amount of spider
cat poison in my bloodstream.
So how do you know the right
time to zap your hand?
If you look closely,
you can see there's a pattern.
What is a pattern, you ask?
Something that repeats itself.
Right now, the pattern is:
Normal, blue, yellow, blue,
yellow, and then it repeats.
Normal, blue,
yellow, blue, yellow.
Now that we know the pattern,
I can call it out and zap
my hand at the right time.
Normal, blue, yellow,
blue, yellow, normal!
Ta-da!
The only problem is, once you
get your hand back to normal,
you will start shrinking.
Goodbye.
- It's my toaster!
- If it wasn't for me, all your
bread would be room temperature!
- Not to worry, sir.
We have a fix.
- I am the best
appliance in here!
I'm better than the dishwasher,
the blender and the juicer.
Why would you even
want a juicer?
You should be squeezing your
juice by hand, building muscle!
- Oh! Yeah!
(bleating)
- So like I was saying,
all of these are cities
and there are little people
inside of them.
- Oh! That makes sense.
- We hang out sometimes.
- There you two are! Something
very odd has happened.
- What's the problem, Ms. O?
- Oscar!
- Hey, guys. So, I was in my lab
working on this new gadget
called the Daynator, which
allows you to time-travel to
a different day in the past.
- Cool!
- I thought so too, until...
- What are you staring at?
- Oh no!
- There's another Ms. O?
- Yep.
And she's taken over my office.
Follow me.
- (both): Whoa!
- But how did dropping
your Daynator gadget
make another Ms. O?
- It's not really
another Ms. O.
She's the real Ms. O, just
from another day in the past.
- She's a caveman?
- Uh, no. According
to my gadget,
she time-traveled
from some day last year.
If I can find out the
exact day that she came
from, I can send her back.
- Oh! Then we'll just ask her.
- Yeah.
- No, no!
If the other Ms. O suspects
that she time-traveled
and we send her back
to the wrong date, it'll
cause a timetastrophy!
- What's that?
- It starts with a timequake.
(rumbling)
And then time
folds in on itself,
causing confusion
and destruction,
folding and folding
and folding and...
- Okay, we get it.
Timetastrophy: bad.
- So bad.
- Wait. If that Ms. O
sees this Ms. O, wouldn't
she know something's up?
- You better fix
this, and fast!
- We will. Cover her.
Now, how do we find out what day
the other Ms. O came from?
- I don't want to call myself
a hero, but I've got this.
Happy New Year!
- Aah! What are you--
It's not New Year's Day.
But you better get out
of my office in ,
, ...
- I figured it out.
Ms. O is not from January st.
- That was your brilliant plan?
- Yeah.
- Otto, there are
days in a year.
You only eliminated one day.
That means there are days
she could still be from.
- I don't think I can get
yelled at that many times.
I bet she's grumpy
'cause she's boiling hot.
- Huh?
- Yeah. She's wearing that
huge sweater and snow boots.
And it's so hot outside!
- But maybe not
where she's from.
A calendar shows
all months of the year,
so if the other Ms. O
was in boots and a sweater,
the day she's from must be cold.
- Good thinking, Oscar.
Let's get a better
look at this.
Otto.
- Pull!
- Wow! You guys are good.
- Thanks.
So, if the day the other Ms. O
came from is cold,
we can cross out
any month that's not cold.
- Ooh! It's no
cold in the summer.
- Right.
And summer runs through June,
July and August.
- Spring is a little cooler,
but it's still warm.
- So that eliminates March,
April and May.
- The other Ms. O
had on snow boots.
There isn't usually
snow in the fall.
- Right. September, October,
November are fall months.
- So through
process of elimination,
the other Ms. O is most likely
from the winter months.
December, January or February.
- But that's still so many days!
How do I meet a
s' businessman?
- (both): Excuse me? What?
- The next stage of the
timetastrophy, after
the timequake,
time holes will appear, allowing
things from different times
to travel to our time:
a s' businessman,
a viking, and, worst of all,
a go-go dancer!
- Oscar, it's not
gonna happen!
We will figure out which
day Ms. O came from.
There must be more clues.
All right. Otto,
get back in there.
- No way! I went in last time.
- Good point. Oscar, you go.
- Why don't you go?
- Because I'm the person
deciding who should go.
- Doesn't even make any sense.
- Well, one of us has to go!
- It's definitely not me.
- I'm not doing this.
- Hey, guys. Have you
seen my partner?
- Octavia! We need a favor.
- Sure. What's up?
- Here's the deal.
The Ms. O that's up in that
office is not the real Ms. O.
- She's from a different day.
- But we don't know what day.
- Which is where you come in.
- You need to go in and get
some clues so we can figure out
which day she's from. Got it?
- Got it. So I go up there and
ask her what day she's from?
- (all): No!
- If she thinks that
she's from a different day,
it'll bring on a timetastrophy.
- So I say I'm a timetastrophy?
- (all): No!
- Oh! So we're all
timetastrophies!
- (all): No!
- Okay, I'm just gonna go up
there and wing it.
- You know what?
Don't even worry about it.
We just solved it.
- We did?
- Don't worry about it.
- Couldn't do it without you.
- Well, chuck up one for
Octavia! Ha-ha!
- All right, new plan. The three
of us are going together.
(Christmas music)
(Ms. O growling in frustration)
- Did you see that?
- Yeah!
That sandwich looked delicious!
- No! She was
decorating for Christmas!
- Oh! Christmas is
on December th.
She's from December th!
- Let's zap her!
- Wait! No one puts up Christmas
decorations on Christmas.
They do it before Christmas.
But we're getting closer.
January, February
are after Christmas,
so they'd all be too late.
So the other Ms. O is probably
from some time in December.
- Ooh! And we can eliminate
anything after December th
because you don't decorate
for Christmas after Christmas.
- Or on Christmas.
(musical ringtone)
Go for Olive.
- What's taking so long?!
- Sorry, Ms. O. We're working
as fast as we can.
- Work faster!
- Hey, Ms. O.
- Agent Obi, is that you?
I thought you left the squad.
- No. I've just been here.
- What else was the other
Ms. O doing? Decorating.
Then she yelled at us.
Then she took a bite
of her sandwich...
- Wait. What kind of sandwich?
- Roast beef, heavy mustard,
light mayo with a -grain bread.
I like food.
- Chili's on Thursdays.
So you can eliminate any other
day that's not Thursday.
- Through process of
elimination, the other
Ms. O has to be from either
December rd, th,
th or th.
- Let's just pick
one and blast her back.
- And face the time sheep?!
- (both): The what?!
- The final stage of
the timetastrophy.
(rumbling and bleating)
(dance music)
- Cool!
Not cool.
- Wait. My birthday's
December h!
- It's a timetastrophy. You want
to talk about your birthday?!
You want to party or go bowling?
- I've got a plan!
Hey, Ms. O.
Can I leave a little early?
Today's my birthday.
- Ha! Nice try.
Your birthday was last week.
- December th is my birthday.
But you said
December th was last week.
So you would be at this
Thursday, a week later,
which is December th!
She's from December th!
Blast her!
(Ms. O screaming)
- What are you doing?
- Trying to save the world!
(growling in anger)
(screaming)
- Do it again, Oscar!
(screaming)
- Guys, be careful!
All right, stop!
We're all reasonable
children here.
You put down the tray and
we'll put down the gadgets.
Oscar. Give it.
See?
- Now what is this all about?!
- Gotcha!
- Nice shot, partner!
- Thanks.
- No timetastrophy.
We got it right!
(screams of joy)
- (both): No time sheep!
No time sheep! No time sheep!
- No turtles! No turtles!
Oh yeah, I didn't mention there
was floating turtles too -
but...
- (all): No time sheep!
No time sheep! No time sheep!
- Thanks, agents.
- Ah! Glad that's over!
- Mm-hmm.
- What are you all standing
around for? Get back to work!
- Oscar, did you drop
the Daynator twice?
- It needs a handle.
I understand that now.
(thunder)
- Hello, time sheep.
- Greetings, agents.
Got time between cases?
Why not head down to
the Odd Squad Games Room?
It features lots of odd games,
like Blob Billiards...
Super Miniature Golf...
or, my favorite, football!
(crowd cheering)
There are also classes.
On March th, Agent Olaf
is teaching underwater tennis.
(screaming in joy)
When is March th? It's easy
to tell with a calendar.
There it is.
The st Wednesday of the month.
You like baloney?
You like hats?
Then you'll love
baloney hat making classes
taught by Agent Obfusco.
- Nutritious...
and fashionable.
(western music)
- Baloney hat making class
happens on week-ends -
so every Saturday and Sunday.
And I teach cheese wrestling
every Thursday.
Agh! Come here! Oh!
This is a feisty one!
So every Thursday would be...
March th, th,
th and th.
Finally, be sure to join us
on the last day of the month,
Tuesday the st, for soccer!
With dinosaurs!
(growling)
- I'm Agent Owen. I'm in charge
of security here at Odd Squad.
- There you are!
Something very odd has
It's pretty much the most
important job here.
Let me show what happened
the day I called in sick.
(siren)
- Ms. O, what's going on?
- The blob has escaped!
- I like to think of myself
as a pretty helpful guy.
I can't help you out.
- What?!
- Fun fact: Every time Olive
and Otto investigate a case,
I go with them for backup.
Like the time all the snowmen
got chopped in half. That's me
hiding behind a snowman.
Right there. Also, when
they were facing off against
the Shapeshifter.
(growling in anger)
Freeze it! That's me hiding
behind those trees.
Then there was the time Olive
faced off against Baby Genius.
(rattling)
Did you hear that crash before
baby genius showed up?
That was me.
Knocked over some paint cans.
I'm not perfect. But I'm close.
(bellowing)
